If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.

Creativity is how we cope with creation. While creation sometimes seems a bit un-graspable, or even pointless, creativity is always meaningful.

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
